Can you stand another take on the classic holiday song?  If you’re like me — committed to collecting and appreciative of things in great quantities — you’ll say, “Sure.  The more the merrier.”

Here, then, are my 13 suggestions for presents to delight a variety of collectors.  (I did say the more the merrier.)

• a baker’s dozen of vintage cookie cutters
• a dozen eggs — preferably by Fabergé — with 12 months no interest
• items about the Apollo 11 mission or from the 7-Eleven or Ocean’s Eleven franchises
• 10 jerseys from the Big 10 schools
• 9 collectibles reflecting the 9 lives cats have
• Eight Is Enough advertisements or posters
• 7 Lucky No. 7 charms — or 7 logo glasses for serving Seagram’s 7 & 7
• a six pack of vintage beer cans, such as Coors for West Coasters and Budweiser for Easterners
• vintage collectibles depicting the Dionne quintuplets
• the four seasons as depicted in song, in art, and in decorative accessories, like Currier and Ives wall calendars
• a trio for afternoon tea (cup, saucer, and plate) and 3 nesting bowls to make scones
• a pair of candlesticks, preferably Depression Glass
• one classic car — make mine a light blue Jaguar, please

Happy Shopping, Collectors, and Happy Holidays!
